A Practical Handbook on Scalp Acupuncture: Acupunture Cranienne Book

Scalp acupuncture is part of the body's micropuncture system. Also called cranial acupuncture or cephalic acupuncture, it is the unique method of using filiform needles to penetrate specific acupuncture points on the scalp to treat diseases. The book is presented in two parts for easier comprehension. The first part (chapter 1-3) deals with the basic knowledge of scalp acupuncture. Included is a brief history of the development of scalp acupuncture, the theory of scalp acupuncture, and the histoanatomy of the scalp. The second part (chapter 4-6) is devoted to clinical application and covers the location and indications of scalp acupuncture areas and points, their manipulation and clinical application. Corresponding color illustrations indicate the international standard scalp acupuncture lines, with a description of relevant acupuncture points along and nearby the pertinent channels.
